FIG. 5.
HTLV-1 p19 matrix antigen production in ex vivo-cultured rabbit PBMC from each sampling time point. PBMC from each infected rabbit were cultured for 2 weeks at each sampling point, and production of HTLV-1 p19 matrix antigen in culture supernatant was measured by ELISA. Bars represent the mean absorbance values from six rabbits in either the 729.ACH- or the 729.ACH.p13- inoculated group ± standard deviations for preinoculation (week 0) and weeks 2, 4, and 8 postinoculation.
